In the first section John Gardner introduces the underlying theme of the lectures, the relationship between personal life and private law. He introduces his version of legal moralism, defending the continuity of personal and political morality against Kantian and Rawlsian arguments. He explores the rational claims of the past, and personal history. He asks whether private law is an autonomous and unified domain, and begins to explore the legal aspects of his work, on the relationship between tort and contract and the relationship between special and general damages.
